Welcome to Chase Shakur’s ‘Wonderlove’ World: The Rising R&B Star Details How Gospel & ‘Pulp Fiction’ Influenced His ‘Surreal’ Debut Album
The ATL-bred R&B singer talks his debut album, working with No I.D. & Raphael Saadiq, and getting inspired by 'Pulp Fiction.' Read the full interview.
Introduced by singles like “Focus on Me” and the TyFontaine-assisted “Fairytailes in Midtown,” Wonderlove arrived on Friday (Feb. 7) as Shakur’s debut studio album — and his second full-length project under Def Jam. His new record charts its moody, introspective emotional odyssey through a soundscape that amalgamates gospel, soul, dancehall, Miami bass, trap, Afrobeats and more. Inspired by the surrealist world of Quentin Tarantino’s Oscar-winning Pulp Fiction and the globe-traversing DJ sets of his closest friends, Shakur sought to make an album that truly examined what love looks like for Gen Z in 2025.
